Facilitator
Far away in a small village in Tripura, lived Jamichhollong. He had solid muscles and was strong. How strong was he?
Well! Let us discover the adventures he faced as he went looking for someone stronger than him.
Who did he find and then what happened?
Come join us for a magical morning! maybe to discover how brave you can be? or what it takes to be strong?
It ends with a hands-on activity that brings the story’s spirit straight into the room.
Laughter, curiosity, and big heart.
Around the World in 50 Sundays is a journey that begins, not with a ticket, but with opening a book. In a city like Bangalore where families are always in motion, the BIC Library hopes to offer stillness and a quiet, welcoming space for both parents and children where reading becomes a shared way of being and not a task.
Every Sunday, we open our doors to invite you into a library that listens; building a rhythm of return, a habit of joy and a new community bound not just by books, but by the weekly ritual of reading together.
We welcome your ideas and input. If you have suggestions for children’s events or activities that align with this vision, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to us at library@bangaloreinternationalcentre.org
